The Days Ahead - Welcome to New Chernarus

This is the first part of a series of videos I will be doing using the (still in development) Arma 2 mod DayZ, a persistent world zombie modification. The mod's website is http://dayzmod.com

Having just finished being given a quick run down of the mod and its mechanics as it currently stands by the developer, we decided to split into two main groups, with a purpose of meeting each other around the Green Mountain TV tower in central Chernarus later in the day. Subsequent episodes will not be as seemingly cut down as this one, with less "teleportation" between locales and more discussion within party members.

Titling it the name of the mod, "DayZ," sounded a little lame, as it sounds like "daisy" and "Jay Z," so after pretty much ten seconds of brainstorming, I came up with "The Days Ahead." My thought process was hilariously simple, since the main developer (I think) is a New Zealander, I went with something inspired by their funny way to pronounce Z, "zed," and "The Days Ahead" was born. It also sounds pretentious so that's good! As always, there's no update schedule, just check in every now and again and you'll find new episodes mixed in with the rest of my normal stuff. When there's a good stack of them, I'll probably throw them in a YouTube playlist.

I miss this.

What I loved most about this episode was when they talked about USEC (another ArmA 2 group, in which I am apart of).

I was like "Oh shit, that would be so bad-ass if they were rivaled but had to group together in-order to survive".

Unfortunately the boys at USEC would probably have shot first. D: (I also miss how everyone said "friendlies up head" back then, instead of "PLAYER, PLAYER FUCKING PLAYER OH SHIT KILL HIM")
